Topic: "Relevance,
theory and rigour in e-government research”
In 2017 the
E-government Working Group invites innovative papers for further enhancing the
quality, visibility and impact of original research in the area of information
communication technology (ICT) in the public services domain. This year we
especially encourage contributions focusing on the following features:
a)Addressing a relevant and practically
embedded topic of ICT application in public services or administration,
especially discovering some of the special challenges of transformative
government or transitional economies.
b)Elaborating and thoroughly introducing
new, innovative theories which enhance our knowledge of ICT in government and
public administration, and which enlighten the challenges differently, leading
to a deeper understanding of their nature or of their potential creative
solution.
c)Enhancing the methodological rigour of
e-government research, by presenting papers with systematically and properly
executed quantitative or qualitative enquires in the overlapping domain of ICT,
governance, participation, communication or any other relevant topic which
might be relevant, not only for NISPAcee, but also to a broader international
audience.
